During their trainee days

* But now, they are like family and their team harmony is the best!!

Debut

veryy interestin!!! readin their debut is nervewreckin. go SHINee!!

I hope they succeed like DBSK!

That's right. DBSK ..they probably shouldn't be comparing them in the future but its a good thing that they are aiming to be like their sunbaes.

sorry to say that but i really do think that they are the younger version of DBSK ..
but still DBSK is irreplacable!!

cool

SHINee is not the younger version of DBSK
...they have their own everythings....
shoo...don't be comparing the two's

DBSK is still the nest band ever but i am a SHINee fan as well. its a good thing that DBSK and shinee aren't the same...

meant to put best not nest...

i hope that shinee goes far. tre so talanted!

It's a good thing that right from the start of their careers they've already mentioned respect for their Dong Bang Shin Ki sunbae's. Cause most of the time there are controversies about being compared to seniors and stuff, so it's a good thing that they really show how they look up to DBSK. I mean, who wouldn't look up to such successful and amazing people after all? My fandom is coming out.

But anyway, they're a good group, and I think that SHINee is very different to DBSK. Their styles are definitely different, and that is definitely a good thing. The only similarities I can see between the two are that they both come from SM Entertainment and that they both perform well live, and that there are 5 members. And even though they're from SM at least they have nothing against Big Bang or Wonder Girls. Could they be pros at the making ? I would like to see how much SHINee improves (and the day they'd change Taemin's mushroom cut - which according to the previe for the new album, is gone).

Ahh! Love these guys<3

This group is friggin' addicting.
They're so talented.
Not to mention the FRESHNESS.
